ty with their corpses;
56 their many houses I burned; many soldiers I took alive;
their spoil in abundance I carried off; the city I overthrew
razed and burnt with fire; the city Khudun
57 and 20 cities in its environs I took; their soldiers I slew;
their booty in cattle and sheep I carried off; their cities I
overthrew razed and burned; their boys
58 their maidens I dishonored; the city of Kisirtu a fortified
city of Zabini with 10 neighboring cities I took; their soldiers
I slew; their spoil
59 I carried off; the cities of Barai and Kirtiara, Bunisai together
with the province of Khasmar I overthrew razed and
burned with fire;
60 I reduced the boundaries to a heap, and then from the
cities of Arastua I withdrew: to the neighborhood of the
territory of Laara and Bidirgi, rugged land, which for the

from Zamri I withdrew and passed the river Lallu and to
the mountains of Etini,

pitchers of copper, the treasures of his palace and of his

on my march;
66 the river Edir I passed on the confines of Soua and Elaniu,

67 _kam_ of copper, _sapli_ and _namziete_ of copper,
vessels of copper
in abundance, _pasur_ wood, gold and _ahzi_, their oxen,

68 his abundant spoil, from below the mountains of Elani, his
horses, I exacted from him: Amika for the saving of his
